intranetista

An intranetista is a professional who specializes in the design, deployment, and ongoing management of an organization’s intranet—the private network and web portal used for internal communication, collaboration, and information sharing. The term is more common in Spanish-speaking contexts and is often used interchangeably with intranet administrator, intranet manager, or information architect.

Responsibilities typically include defining the intranet’s information architecture, taxonomy, and navigation to ensure intuitive access to documents, policies, and tools. They coordinate content strategy and governance, establish editorial standards, and facilitate cross‑department collaboration by configuring spaces such as team portals, knowledge bases, and dashboards. Other duties involve selecting and configuring platforms (for example, content management systems, search engines, collaboration tools, and security controls), ensuring data protection, and implementing onboarding and training programs. They may also monitor usage analytics, drive user adoption, and plan rolling updates and migrations.

Key skills for an intranetista include information architecture, user experience and usability, content strategy, project management, stakeholder engagement, and familiarity with intranet platforms (such as SharePoint, Confluence, or other CMSs). Technical skills may cover metadata design, search configuration, access control, and basic web technologies. A background in information management, IT, communications, or library science is common, with experience in governance frameworks and change management.

The role supports organizational efficiency by improving information access, reducing content fragmentation, and fostering collaboration among employees across departments. See also intranet, information architecture, content governance.
